SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 272,698, dated February 20, 1883.

Application filed June 29, 1882. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, GEORGE (J. HUMPHRIES, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Crimp-Protectors, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure l is a perspective view of niyimproveinent,illustratingits use. Fig. 2 is a plan View of my improvemenfl The object of this invention is to prevent the uncrimping of a ladys frizzes by perspiration from the forehead.

The invention consists in a crimp-protector formed of a mica plate, having holes in its ends to receive the ends of threads or small cords having hair-pins attached to their other ends to adapt the plate to he placed upon a ladys forehead, beneath her friz zes, as will be hereinafter fully described.

A represents athin plate of mica, the ends of which are rounded. and which has its inner edge slightly concaved and its outer edges slightly convexed. 1n the ends of the plate A,

near the inner owners, are formed small holes, which are strengthened by metallic eyelets B, secured in them.

G are threads or light cords, the ends of which are passed through the eyelets B and tied. To the other ends of the cords U are attached hair-pins D, as shown in Fig. 2.

In using the improvement, the plate A is placed upon a lallys forehead with the conoaved edge upward, and is slipped up beneath thefrizzes with which her forehead is covered, so that the said frizzes will be separated from the forehead and the said platewill be completely covered and concealed.

By this improvement the perspiration of the forehead will be prevented from taking the crimp out of the t'rizzes, so that the frizzes will retain theirforin foran indefinite length of time.

Having tlms described my invention, 1 claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A crimp-protector constructed substantially as herein shown and described, and con- Sisting of the mica plate A, the cords O, and the hair-pins D, as set forth.

2. In a crimp-protector, the mica plate A. provided with eyelets B in its ends to receive tasteuing-cords and adapt it to be placed upon a. ladys forehead beneath her frizzes, as set forth.
